   Great getaway by
Marilyn D. from Annapolis, MD Sailing date: Jan 2010Pros: The variety of ports and the Celebrity staff Cons: too casual guests...demeanor could have been more polite and upscale The ship is about 9 years old and is showing its age in comparison to other ships we have cruised on. The staff was very conscientious in the upkeep of the ship however but it looked a bit "worn" on the inside. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodWas disappointed that we had requested to be seated at a table for 10 for the 2nd seating and for 6 nights we were at a table of 4. We thoroughly enjoyed our other 2 seatmates but wondered why tables were not rearranged after the first formal night so that more guests interested in the seated dining experience could sit together. Stateroom QualityVery nice size and our first experience out of 7 cruises where we opted for a balcony. Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & ActivitiesWe were not able to take advantage of many of the activities due to excursions and the late dinner seating. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Fantastic Romantic 25th anniversary trip by
James H. from Boulder, CO Sailing date: Nov 2009Pros: Great ship. Great itinerary. Florence was awesome! Cons: Athens was quite dirty. This was our second trip on the Summit, and it didn't disappoint. The food was excellent as usual, and our balcony room (Concierge Class) was quite spacious and comfortable for a two week itinerary.

Excellent! by
A Traveler from San Jose CA Sailing date: Oct 2009Pros: The itinerary and the Cosmopolitan dining room Cons: The worn out stateroom Unbelievable Mediterranean itinerary, although ports are very customized for using the Celebrity excursions--if you want to be on your own there are many logistics to be worked out and Celebrity has no one to help. Some ports (Naples) not in good areas. On and off ship was most efficient we ever experienced. Our room was worn but the staff tries to keep it nice, and common areas are still well done, although not dramatic. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodEvery dinner in the Cosmopolitan dining room was delicious--our waiter and assistant were outstanding, and their recommendations on the food were spot on. Mediocre food at the buffet, not enough, lukewarm, short of coffee, coffee cups, utensils. Not enough food areas open when returning from an excursion, not enough seating. Stateroom QualityRather small for a balcony room, and the overhang from the Resort deck and the bridge blocked a lot of the view. Carpet, upholstery and linens worn. Toilet broke twice, and a horrible smell had to be researched and fixed before we could move in. Ship Staff QualityCosmopolitan dining room staff is wonderful. Other than that, ship is understaffed. Always had to wait for any other service type. Customer desk acts responsive but in truth is not. We preordered some packages and had to ask for them three times over two days. Entertainment & ActivitiesPlenty of entertainment, very talented performers in every venue of the ship. Very limited activities, but those are not import when nearly every day is spent at a Mediterranean port. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

An amazing cruise by
Jerry Z from Kenosha, WI Sailing date: Jul 2009Pros: The ports of calls were everything I expected and more. Cons: The smallest staterooms I've ever been in. The ports of call were amazing. This is a trip I will remember for the rest of my life! Ship Quality
Dining/FoodDiner buffet was very limited, and therefore you were almost forced to eat in the formal dining room which can be very difficult after a long excursion. Stateroom QualitySmallest balcony stateroom we've had on 8 cruises. The stateroom service was excellent, and I especially liked that they didn't leave their service carts in the hallways like Carnival often does. Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & ActivitiesI think you're trying to cater to sophisticated crowd by bring in violinist, pianoist, and soloist, but those nights there were hardly anyone there. Children's ProgramsMy daughter said the counselor they had did obsolutely nothing with them. On the last night she was looking forward to making t-shirts, and this activity like several others never happened. She was very disappointed about this.

A little disappointed by
Michele C from hahah I dont think so Sailing date: Jun 2009Pros: The sightseeing Cons: The food on the boat and our matradee 7 years ago we took a celebrity cruise that was unbelievable. I have to say our last cruise just last week for a 2 week european tour was disappointing. The food was mediocre. And finding a live worm in my salad at dinner was the final straw for me. Our waiter was wonderful and so was our asst waiter. But the Matradee was terrible. No manners and clearly out for himself. He was rude and obnoxious. Ship Quality
Dining/Foodfood choices for in room dining was terrible and so was finding a worm in my salad at our dinner in the main dining room. I expected a better compensation. Stateroom Quality

sleepless on the summit by
A Traveler from va Sailing date: Apr 2009Pros: the wait staff Cons: the loud noises from 3-6 am rooms 2181 & 2185 are right under the washing kitchens just before the crew cabins. They have been there from the begining so they most likely have heard complaints of the very loud banging and scraping noises from about 3am --5 or 6 am. My son came running in scared there was something wrong with the ship. My daughter had a nightmare. We reported the noise but we were confused with fatuige as to the location. By the 3rd time of them telling me they didn't know where it could be coming from. I put on my robe at 3:30 in the morning and went in search of it and found it right away. Then went to guest services and asked if they could hold it down. I understand things have to be washed but they don't have to slam things around and into those big metal sinks and scrape stuff across the floors. It sounded like big garbage trucks banging dumpsters half the night. I started going to sleep around 10pm to get a jump on the noise and it still made for 4
crabby clients. WHATEVER YOU DO WHEN YOU BOOK FIND OUT WHERE THE DISH WASHING IS!!!!! No one told us and we really thought this was going to be the vacation of our lives. It turned into a night mare. Ship Quality

Celebrity??????? by
Paula C. from Lake Orion, MI Sailing date: Apr 2009Pros: Getting on and off the ship no long lines Cons: Service, food, lack of acitivites in general Poor drink service everywhere on board. The food was average at best. Not enough to do on board as far as activities for adults or teens/kids. This was unlike any other Celebrity cruise we've ever been on ......sub par for them, very disapointing and embarrasing as we brought friends who had never sailed Celebrity and have heard us say nothing but great things in the past.
